Key differences between Groovy and Carbon

CharacteristicGroovyCarbon
SyntaxSimilar to Java but more concise and flexible, supports optional semicolons and dynamic features.Designed to be familiar to C++ developers, with modern syntax improvements and explicit constructs.
ParadigmSupports object-oriented, functional, and scripting paradigms.Primarily object-oriented and procedural, with a focus on systems programming.
TypingDynamically typed by default, with optional static typing.Statically typed with strong type safety.
PerformanceGenerally slower than Java due to dynamic features and running on the JVM.Aims for high performance, comparable to or better than C++, with low-level control.
Libraries and frameworksLeverages the entire Java ecosystem and has its own libraries for scripting and web development.Currently limited, as it is experimental and lacks a mature ecosystem.
Community and supportEstablished community with good documentation and support, widely used in JVM environments.Very early-stage, small community, limited support and resources.
Learning curveEasy for Java developers to pick up, gentle learning curve due to concise syntax.Steep learning curve, especially for those unfamiliar with C++-like languages or systems programming.
